Some people took issue with the fact that Canning drew Hermione as a woman of colour. She had something to say in response:

"Shut the fuck up dumbasses," wrote Canning.

Ugh people are discoursing about black Hermione on my really old hp fanart like “I’m all for black empowerment but she’s white in canon” “I don’t really mind [black Hermione] but it frustrates me” “Rowling said she was black for brownie points” like shut the fuck up dumbasses
